Reporter, Gaby McKay, has been shortlisted for feature writer for work in the Glasgow Times and sister title The Herald.

The annual awards recognise the best in Scottish journalism and the winners announced in June.

Richard Neville, chair of the judging panel, said: “The pressure on journalists and news organisations continues to grow every year and, despite the incredible challenges the industry faces, the quality of entries to The Scottish Press Awards continues unabated.

“This year has been one of further diversification with digital content becoming the central feature of many newsrooms. At the heart of every entry, however, is simple good storytelling, digital or otherwise.

“While selecting the winners has been as difficult as ever, it has been clear throughout the process that Scotland is being well served because of the value our journalists and editors are placing on telling great stories, in every format.”
